+20080816
+	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
+	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
+	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
+	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
+	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
+	  Werner Fink).
+	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
+	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
+	+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
+	  by comments by Samuel Thibault).
+	+ fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
+
+20080804
+	+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
+	+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
+	+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
+	+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
+	  "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
+	+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
+	  search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
+
+20080726
+	+ build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
+	  thresholds).
+
+20080713
+	+ build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
+
+20080712
+	+ compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
+
+20080705
+	+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
+	  make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
+	  (cf: 20050205).
+	+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
+	+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
+	  -static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
+	  not link.
+
+20080628
+	+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
+	+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
+	  interface.
+	+ make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
+	  by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).
+	+ add screen.mlterm terminfo entry -TD
+	+ improve mlterm and mlterm+pcfkeys terminfo entries -TD
+
+20080621
+	+ regenerated html documentation.
+	+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and
+	  menu_driver() (prompted by discussion with Adam Spragg).
+	+ add null-pointer checks for cur_term in baudrate() and
+	  def_shell_mode(), def_prog_mode()
+	+ fix some memory leaks in delscreen() and wide acs.
+
+20080614
+	+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
+	+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
+	+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
+	  by Poor Yorick).
+
+20080607
+	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
+	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
+	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
+	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
+	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
+	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
+
 20080531
 	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
 	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
